Why ICQ? Spam Machine. - GoFuckYourself.com

It seems that ICQ is the Instant Messenger of choice among adult webmasters. Why? I am very familiar with Instant Messengers and use AIM and Yahoo daily. Being fairly new to this board, I decided to join the crowd and got ICQ about a week ago.

Now I'm being bombarded with Russian spammers trying to add me to their buddy list. Never a problem with Yahoo or AIM. Perhaps there is some privacy setting that I am missing.

So, why ICQ? I remember using it way back in the late 90's and I wasn't all that fond of it back then.

ICQ is more secure than aim and yahoo, but I heard that skype is now becoming the best of all of them, but im not really sure though

I prefer Skype and AIM but ICQ is out there and as you say, seems to be preferred but I have no clue why! It's junk and yes, the Russkies are very, very busy with invitations, so I just block them as they show up.

Skype or AIM kicks ICQ's ass all over the place!

Is there any antispam features?
